Dwarves' Earth Treasures: Black Desert Thundereggs from Nevada/Idaho border


.	Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum: Black Desert Thunderegg Gerlach, near Nevada/Idaho Border	.

There are a thundergg site found somewhere along Nevada and Idaho border that are producing large reddish thundereggs with black to gray agates within them. Most thundereggs were too big for me when I wanted are smaller ones but I was able to find some thundereggs that are small enough for me to cut and polish. Most thundereggs seem to be generally hollow, lined with blackish gray agate and sometimes quartz and the rhyolite shells tend to be thick. There appears to be some yellowish plume-like inclusions in some agates. They do remind me of the thundereggs from Black Hills at Wiley Well District, California which can be a cause for confusion except that the rhyolite shells are more reddish.
